On this auspicious occasion of #Ganeshotsav, chef Ruchi Bharani brings you Lord Ganesha's favorite sweet dish, modak in a modernized version. This Ganesh Chaturthi, treat the elephant-headed deity with His favourite sweet in a chocolaty flavour.

Ingredients:

200 gms bitter chocolate
4 tbsp almond powder
4 tbsp of milk powder
2 tbsp raisins
2-3 tbsp condensed milk

Method:

- Melt the roughly chopped chocolate in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds.
- Once the chocolate melts, whisk it for a few seconds to get rid of the lumps.
- Let the chocolate cool down for about five minutes.

To make the filing:
- In a bowl, add the coarsely ground almond powder, milk powder, raisins and condensed milk (just enough to bind everything together) and then mix everything together until it turns into a soft dough.
- Make small balls from the dough and try to include at least 1 raisin in each ball.
- If you feel your filling is extremely dry and sweet enough, you can add little cream to it.

To make modak:
- Take a piping bag and fill it with the tempered chocolate.
- Take the modak-shaped mould, snip the piping bag and fill half the mould with chocolate.
- Tap the mould slightly and then push the almond balls inside the chocolate.
- Then fill the remaining mould with chocolate and tap it once again to even out everything.
- Put it in the freezer to set for about 5-7 minutes.
- Take the modak out of the refrigerator and tap the mould upside down to unmould the modaks.
- The delicious chocolate modaks are ready to be served to the elephant-headed deity, Lord Ganesha.
